Hospice Outreach Service

Supporting you in your home

Our Hospice Outreach Service work closely with your GP, District Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals to support you and your family and help co-ordinate palliative care at home. Your GP will continue to hold primary responsibility for your care while you are at home.

The team is made up of a range of professionals (Clinical Nurse Specialists and Staff Nurses, Advanced Clinical Practitioners and Assistant Practitioners, Specialty Doctors, and Clinical Paramedic Specialists) and some of our staff specialise in specific conditions. Our goal is to deliver personalised care for you, in line with your care preferences.

What is the Hospice Outreach Service?

We can advise on medication to help relieve physical symptoms and offer guidance and support on Advance Care Planning (which includes resuscitation decisions and preferences for your future care). We aim to minimise unnecessary hospital admissions by ensuring that plans, medications & equipment are in place before they might be needed based on individual need.

Hospice Outreach Service also offer Hospice appointments that enable patients and families to visit the hospice and be assessed by our clinical staff, with a care & treatment plan created if required. The facilities at the Hospice can then be viewed and/or used whilst patients and families are present after their appointment.
